In electrodynamics, circular polarization of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization state in which, at each point, the electromagnetic field of the...

polarization, the fields oscillate in a single direction. In circular or elliptical polarization, the fields rotate at a constant rate in a plane as the wave...

further transforms the linearly polarized light into circularly-polarized light. The circular polarization avoids problems with autofocus and the light-metering...

produces circular polarization) is much less likely. Observationally, the linear polarization fraction p ~ 0.015 from a single scattering; circular polarization...

specific polarization pass through while blocking light waves of other polarizations. It can filter a beam of light of undefined or mixed polarization into...

exhibit chirality. Circular polarization and linear polarization can be considered to be special cases of elliptical polarization. This terminology was...

transmitting separate left and right circularly polarized light beams through the same optical fiber. Polarization techniques have long been used in radio...

rotation, also known as polarization rotation or circular birefringence, is the rotation of the orientation of the plane of polarization about the optical axis...

clockwise. When circularly polarized light passes through an absorbing optically active medium, the speeds between right and left polarizations differ ( c...

left circular polarization, or a superposition of the two. Equivalently, a photon can be described as having horizontal or vertical linear polarization, or...

motions of unequal amplitude and 90 degrees out of phase, with circular polarization being the special case where the two linear motions have the same...

ellipse are equal, then the polarization is said to be circular . If the minor axis of the ellipse is zero, the polarization is said to be linear. Rotation...

a year. Later, he coined the terms linear polarization, circular polarization, and elliptical polarization, explained how optical rotation could be understood...

have circular polarization when its electric and magnetic fields rotate continuously around the beam axis during propagation. The circular polarization is...

antennas use mixed polarization, such as linear polarization at an angle (with both vertical and horizontal components) or circular polarization. On the other...

work due to spin orbit coupling. The circular polarization of electromagnetic fields is due to spin polarization of their constituent photons. In the...

limb polarization. Plane polarization of starlight generated at the star itself is observed for Ap stars (peculiar A type stars).[1] Both circular and...

fiber, two polarization modes (say vertical and horizontal polarization) have the same nominal phase velocity due to the fiber's circular symmetry. However...
